About Us
All our experience coming together to create an online business valuation tool that is easy to use
Our vision is that any person with a basic financial knowledge should be able to perform a business valuation, no matter how small the business. This is currently not feasible for most, however, and only large organizations can afford credible and quality business valuation reports. Why? Because business valuations can be quite technical and are typically performed by highly qualified and experienced business valuation specialists. This comes at a very high fee, so it is no surprise that organizations below a certain size just do not appoint specialists for a business valuation.
But demand is universal… Both small and large businesses have the need for valuations. Here’s the good news: most parts of the valuation calculation, although technical and sometimes complicated, can be standardized, which is what we have done! We have applied more than 20 years of valuation consulting experience, financial models and reports – that have withstood robust mergers and acquisitions negotiations, regulatory reviews, disputes and close scrutiny by shareholders – to bring you an easy-to-use and credible valuation tool : Worth.Business.
